True justice does not lie in our own patterns of punishments, retribution and/or revenge. True justice does not lie in telling ourselves and each other lies about our unfair distributions of the fruits of our own and each others creative works. True justice does not lie in our patterns of arrogance, self-righteousness, domination, coercion, controls, and collusive games of mutual self deception. Therein lie the greatest threats to our personal and communal integrities. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
